Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 687. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 27. So, we're going to take the number 687 and add it to itself 27 times.
Step 1: 0 + 687 = 687
Step 2: 687 + 687 = 1374
Step 3: 1374 + 687 = 2061
Step 4: 2061 + 687 = 2748
Step 5: 2748 + 687 = 3435
Step 6: 3435 + 687 = 4122
Step 7: 4122 + 687 = 4809
Step 8: 4809 + 687 = 5496
Step 9: 5496 + 687 = 6183
Step 10: 6183 + 687 = 6870
Step 11: 6870 + 687 = 7557
Step 12: 7557 + 687 = 8244
Step 13: 8244 + 687 = 8931
Step 14: 8931 + 687 = 9618
Step 15: 9618 + 687 = 10305
Step 16: 10305 + 687 = 10992
Step 17: 10992 + 687 = 11679
Step 18: 11679 + 687 = 12366
Step 19: 12366 + 687 = 13053
Step 20: 13053 + 687 = 13740
Step 21: 13740 + 687 = 14427
Step 22: 14427 + 687 = 15114
Step 23: 15114 + 687 = 15801
Step 24: 15801 + 687 = 16488
Step 25: 16488 + 687 = 17175
Step 26: 17175 + 687 = 17862
Step 27: 17862 + 687 = 18549

So, 687*27 = 18549
